Trade School

It has been two years since the city of Detroit announced a new 30 million dollar job training center was coming to the west side, thanks to an investment by the Michigan Regional council of carpenters and millwrights. The skilled trades school is being built in the neighborhood where Stephen lived as a child, and despite some delays caused by the pandemic, the project is nearing completion.
